Winds Keep Up, Temperatures Keep Rising

We'll start the morning with some clouds, by afternoon it'll be mostly sunny and windy. Highs and humidity a little higher than the day before. We should top out in the mid-80's, just west of Fort Worth we'll hit the 90's. Dew points are in the 60's so it has the feel of a June day, the temperatures are typical of early summer weather than race week in April.

TONIGHT/TOMORROW

Tonight we'll have lows in the upper 60's. Was it just a few nights ago we started in the 30's? Partly sunny tomorrow and highs in the upper 80's, mid -90's on the western edge of Fort Worth. The dry line drifts close to a Bowie to Granbury line by afternoon sparking some thunderstorms. These storms have a good chance of becoming severe and producing damaging winds. They'll have trouble staying together once we fall into evening, the risk includes Fort Worth but a better chance they end up just to the north and west. We'll keep an eye on them through the day and early evening. There is a storm chance for the Friday night race at the Texas Speedway but it's a small one.  This is how FutureSky Forecast shows the storm placement during the afternoon:

THE WEEKEND

Saturday we'll have highs in the low 90's, another breezy day with a just a few clouds. For the big race it'll be very windy  and warm (and muggy!).  Overnight lows in the low 70's heading into Sunday. A cold front arrives from the west late morning on Sunday, it brings in a 30% chance of rain and storms. The coverage and intensity will be better for the eastern third of north Texas (east of DFW). The front also sweeps in slightly cooler air. In the upper 70's in the afternoon. A potential problem on Sunday is that the very dry air returns along with a brisk wind- this will produce high fire danager in the western half that doesn't get the rain.

Small chances of rain/storms again on Wednesday. Highs in the 80's first three days of next week.
